Patent Claims
18 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

3

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the modified translation and rotation displacement of the camera is used to track a route through the environment.

4

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 3, further comprising transmitting the route over a wireless network.

5

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 3, further comprising displaying the route to the human.

6

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5, wherein displaying the route comprises providing navigation cues to the human on a display in the egocentric perspective of the human.

7

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising computing an estimated camera motion from the modified translation and rotation displacement of the camera.

8

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 7, further comprising creating a correspondence map of at least a portion of the environment using the estimated camera motion.

9

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the human is a first responder.

11

11. The system of claim 9, wherein the modified translation and rotation displacement of the camera is used to track a route through the environment.

12

12. The system of claim 11, further comprising a wireless transmitter for transmitting the route over a wireless network.

13

13. The system of claim 11, further comprising a display configured to display the route to the human.

14

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the display is further configured to provide navigation cues to the human.

15

15. The system of claim 9, wherein the instructions executed by the processing unit further cause the processing unit to compute an estimated camera motion from the modified translation and rotation displacement of the camera.

16

16. The system of claim 15, wherein the instructions executed by the processing unit further cause the processing unit to create a correspondence map of at least a portion of the environment using the estimated camera motion.

17

17. The system of claim 9, wherein the human is a first responder.

18

18. The system of claim 9, further comprising a helmet, wherein the sensor module, the camera module, the memory, and the processor are incorporated into the helmet.

19

19. The system of claim 18, wherein the helmet further comprises the wearable motion sensor and the thermal imaging camera.

20

20. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the down-sampling includes regularization using the Levenberg-Marquardt Optimization method.

22

22. The system of claim 21, wherein the down-sampling includes regularization using the Levenberg-Marquardt Optimization method.
